Abstract :
Superconducting magnets have become essential components of hadron accelerator/colliders and compact electron accelerators. Their technology has greatly progressed in recent years thanks to the Tevatron and HERA operation experience, the production of the RHIC magnets and the intense R&D programs for SSC, UNK and LHC. For the LHC, at present the most important and advanced project, dipoles, quadrupoles and corrector R&D magnets have been successfully built in industry and laboratories. Major milestones have been recently passed with test and measurement of several industry made, 10 m long, twin-aperture dipoles and the successful operation of a “string” test facility simulating the basic machine half-cell
